Homework Statement


Find the trigonometric ratios [tex]sin\theta, cos\theta, tan\theta for the angle \theta = 14\pi.[/tex] If a ratio does not exist or is undefined, write "DNE".

The Attempt at a Solution



I know that the other equivalent angle for 15pi is just pi. But I do not know how to write the ratios. From the unit circle, I know that [tex]tan\theta = 0/-1. Since tan = sin/cos.[/tex]

[tex] OK, so sin(15pi) = sin(pi) = ?<br /> What do you get for the other two functions?[/tex]

sin(pi)= 0
cos (pi) = -1
tan (pi) =0.

Is that all?
